Overwhelming in all cases. Im watching this debate over the Voting Rights act and im struck with the reality that the reason for today is the Republican Party. Not the party of the 1960s. But the one thats backed Voter Suppression efforts in dozens of states and keeps on doing. Every time a state passes another bill making it harder to vote, cutting down on voter days, exz e exz tending voter id requirements, you have to wonder are they doing precisely what the voter rights act was designed to stop . The Republican Party can be proud in certain regards. Certainly the backing of certain men like edward durks. The question today for this young century is whether the Republican Party will be as proud in the future for the positions its taking now. Thats hardball for now. Politics nation with al sharpton starts right now. Thanks, chris. And thanks to you for tuning in im live from washington. Tonights lead, winning the argument. New polls show the American People support the president , no

And what the deal was, the cuts were going to be so harmful, democrats and republicans would come together to find a more sensible way to reduce the debt with tax revenue and spending cuts. Obviously, congress has not been able to make such progress. The republicans have said they dont want to do anymore revenue, even if its just a matter of closing tax loopholes for some of the wealth yesz americans and wellconnected corpora
